Building Inspection Reports for New Homes

Building your dream home is usually a once in a lifetime experience where professional advice is critical to achieve an acceptable outcome. Having the support of a building professional during the course of constructing a new home will significantly reduce the risk of defects and therefore disputes over building works which can result in litigation and or building claims.

How a building expert can help

Most homeowners have little if any building knowledge and rely on the builder as well as a substantial number of contractors, to complete the building works to an acceptable standard. This places the owner in a difficult position when unforeseen building issues or defects arise.

A DHBA new home building inspection and reports covers a multitude of trades and possible defects.

These inspections are critical at relevant stages of the construction so that the building can be completed to an acceptable standard with little, or no, minor defects upon completion.
The building inspection reports highlight any likely future defects as well as compare the standard of construction to the Building Code of Australia or Australian Standards.
This allows any building defects to be dealt with before its too late for rectification and therefore potentially expensive remediation later.
